Pleased to see Howard Toon’s Truleigh Hill stuff re issued in a decent format. If you need any more Truleigh Hill info, I have a display in the Marlipins Museum in Shoreham. The museum closes for the winter on Oct 31st. I am there on volunteer duties for the next 3 Thursday afternoons. I was a TH radar operator in 1956 and 57 and have written the complete history of the station. (with generous permission to use some of Howard’s stuff.) I have nearly 100 ex Truleigh contacts, including 10 from wartime and have organised two reunions.
Regards
Roy
